BuzzAndSting Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Seems like Concacaf has Concacaf'd themselves with this broadcast issue. Really annoying as I was looking forward to watching these games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM3/MM2/MM Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) A major upset in the making ? US Virgin Island's leading Anguilla 2-0 at half, eliminating Anguilla from League B contention if they win or tie. Turks and Caicos still hanging on by a thread to qualify for League B.

jtpc Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I'm really hoping Montserrat wins tonight and continues their amazing run. They have 2 wins already and were just seconds away from earning a point against El Salvador. Even though they're only +2 on 6 points, they could still make it very interesting for that last Gold Cup spot with another win. Their goal difference could be among the weakest of all the teams that end up on 9 points, but if a few of the teams currently ahead of them with 6 points were to draw their final match, there might be a chance to grab that 10th spot.

Blackjack15 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) I'm pretty excited for the idea of Guyana, St Kitts, and Dominican Republic qualifying for the Gold Cup for the first time!! Not only because Justin Springer and Emery Welshman are there but DR will be able to attract some bigger name players of descent. Starting off in Spain which there is tons and the headliner is Real Madrid's Mariano. Playing in Nations League A as well; it's big for these 3 countries Nicaragua will qualify as they play Barbados and Bermuda will lose for sure El Salvador might miss the gold cup which is really a huge blow for Concacaf in terms of interest because they have a large fanbase in the US and always sell tons of tickets Wished that Puerto Rico was good at soccer, (Own domestic league, US Citizenship, used to have a pro team in the NASL, etc) they have all the tools to be but for some reason results aren't coming by .

And Barbados aren't bad either; there's certainly no reason to think Nicaragua will have a free win against them away from home.

devioustrevor Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Montserrat currently up 2-1 on Cayman Islands, but @caribbeanfooty on Twitter tweeted out earlier that Cayman Islands seems to have a guy in the starting line-up who has picked up two yellow cards in previous games and should've been suspended. So there may be a chance Montserrat get a 3-0 walkover.

With that point they are in the Gold Cup. The only teams capable of getting 10 points right now are the 6 teams that started this round on 9 points.

SkuseisLoose Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 So for monsteratt to go through this is what they need: So their best chance requires both Canada to beat FG and Jamaica to beat El Salvador. Now for the remaining 6 teams on 6 points 4 play each other Guyana vs Belize and Dominican Republic vs Bermuda. Now assuming Jamaica and Canada have won their games only one of these games have to result in a tie for monsteratt to advance. If El Salvador is to win, either both games must result in a tie or Suriname must beat Saint Kitts and Nevis or Barbados must beat Nicaragua. So the odds are definitely against monsteratt but they still got a chance. Blackjack15 and BuzzAndSting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSoccerFan Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I don't think 4 games was enough to sort this out. They had enough matchdays to play as many as 8 games. That would likely be expensive but even 6 would've made more sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be some teams playing in leagues they probably shouldn't but it will be easily enough to move up and down once the real thing gets started. Realistically it was either this, or seed teams based on ranking. Red and White and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtpc Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Montserrat currently sits 7th. Technically, there are 8 countries with 6 points who could potentially catch them, but since our chances of defeating French Guiana are extremely good, it's more like 7. Montserrat can afford to have 3 of those 7 countries win their final match. If that happened, they'd grab the 10th and final Gold Cup spot. We'll see if their chances improve or diminish after tonight. 4 of the 7 teams who could pass them are playing tonight. Saint Kitts and Nevis is away at Suriname, so Montserrat will definitely be hoping for a draw or a Suriname home victory in order to take SKN out of the picture. Guyana is home to Belize (either one would pass Montserrat with a victory), and we'll see whether El Salvador can get to 9 points or not, playing at home against Jamaica.

Keegan Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 If Cayman Islands did in fact field an ineligible player then ES would need to win by more than 2 goals to pass Montserrat. I like their chances of qualifying for the Gold Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devioustrevor Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I find it really interesting that depending on results, it is possible that British Virgin Islands (currently ranked 207th out of 211 teams in FIFA) has a chance of qualifying for League B. If they beat Bonaire tomorrow, they will be on 4 points and will pass Turks and Caicos based on goal difference. Of teams still remaining on either 1 or 3 points, the only one that seems likely to be able to earn points still is Grenada, but they face a Puerto Rico team that so far has proven really difficult to score on. If the game ends in a draw, Grenada would be on 4 points and -9 GD. If British Virgin Islands beats Bonaire they would be on 4 points and at worst a -8 GD.

Keegan Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) This El Salvador v Jamaica game is actually a high-pressure tie. El Salvador is in tough to qualify for the Gold Cup, even with a win. If ES do push for the result they need then Jamaica could find itself out of Group A. Not that it's hugely important with their goal differential but Curacao is losing to Antigua and Barbuda. Edited March 23, 2019 by Keegan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
